SUMMARY:HACU Webinar - Current Challenges Facing Academic Leaders
DESCRIPTION:HACU WEBINAR – CURRENT CHALLENGES FACING ACADEMIC LEADERS: Colleges and universities are facing daunting challenges\, including a growing sentiment that academic institutions are failing to provide sufficient value compared to the cost of tuition – commonly referred to as the value proposition. Academic leaders are also grappling with the impact that artificial intelligence will have on both course delivery and leadership\, perhaps making AI more daunting than the distance education revolution. \nAlthough case studies or anecdotes are valuable when facing these new challenges\, they are typically based on a small sample for analysis. This presentation will explore what the larger sample and meta-analytic empirical research on the outcome of different leadership styles reveals. The presentation will review transformational\, servant\, authentic\, task-oriented\, and person-oriented leadership styles. \nThis virtual event will be at 1 p.m. To register for the webinar\, go to https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_8d2RjllTSIOWr9qRMGtu3g#/registration
